When I finished watching this flick it appeared to me that it was made at the end of the eighties. I gave me a feeling of a seventies movie. And that's not so good. It came just after the slasher era and in a time when horror was not done by the majors. And it shows. It's a bit of supernatural thing of a carpenter coming back to his house after he got the electric chair. Sadly, it never becomes really bloody or messy. Even not when the carpenter kills the man of the women he loves. It is more a bit about affairs and how to compete with it. But things go from bad to worse and soon she, Alice, discovers that the man she falls in love with is a death person only to be hurt by destroying the house he build. Weird story, but so passé. Although the acting was okay, it fails nowadays in all ways. Still, up to today it is unavailable in all forms, it do pop up at flea markets on VHS and in the Benelux on DVD taken from a bad VHS rip.
